San Marino Experience, operated by MAD S.r.l., is a specialized tourism service provider offering outdoor activities such as guided tours, trekking, eBike excursions, and local product tastings in the Republic of San Marino. The company targets tourists seeking authentic and active experiences in a culturally rich environment. The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities and uses multiple plugins to enhance user experience and multilingual support. While the site demonstrates good content quality, SEO, and user engagement through testimonials and social media integration, it currently lacks a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical security vulnerability. This absence of HTTPS undermines user trust and exposes visitors to potential data interception risks. The site has implemented GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies, indicating awareness of data protection regulations. Overall, the business appears legitimate and well-positioned in its niche, but urgent security improvements are necessary to safeguard user data and enhance credibility.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.
GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.
Priority findings
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Security headers
Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header
Forces HTTPS connections
What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"
This scan found 16 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
How this score is calculated
The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted
NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.
Findings that cap the score at 49
Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.
The certificate is not trusted by browsers
The website is not served over HTTPS
A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
The page loads a script from a compromised source
The domain registration has expired
SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain
Partial scans
When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Business context
Business profile
The company operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on experiential tourism in San Marino. Its business model revolves around direct bookings for outdoor activities and selling related products such as multi-museum passes. The presence of detailed service offerings, special events, and partnerships with transportation providers like Bonelli Bus indicates a mature operational approach. The target audience includes families, adventure seekers, and cultural tourists. The company leverages digital marketing tools and social media to maintain visibility and customer engagement. Growth potential exists through expanding activity offerings and enhancing online booking capabilities.
Security posture
The website's security posture is currently weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of modern TLS protocols. Although some security headers like X-Content-Type-Options and X-XSS-Protection are present, critical best practices such as HSTS and OCSP stapling are missing. No evidence of incident response policies or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms was found. The site uses standard WordPress plugins, which require regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. The lack of HTTPS is a significant risk, potentially exposing user data during transactions and communications.
Recommendations
Immediately install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checks and reduce latency.
Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to patch known vulnerabilities.
Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features and performance optimizations to improve user experience.
The website is powered by WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses a variety of plugins including EventON for event management, WP Google Maps for location services, and TranslatePress for multilingual support. The hosting provider is SiteGround, known for managed WordPress hosting. The site loads multiple external resources such as Google Fonts, FontAwesome icons, and analytics scripts. Performance data is missing, indicating potential gaps in monitoring. The site is mobile optimized and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancements. However, the absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a major technical deficiency. The site uses jQuery and other standard JavaScript libraries. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small tourism business website but requires security upgrades and performance monitoring improvements.
Standards and sources
Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
